Brandi Glanville ‘seeking legal counsel’ about suing LeAnn & Eddie’s VH1 show

wenn21327308

I just found the “supertrailer” for LeAnn Rimes & Eddie Cibrian’s VH1 show, so I’m including it below. It’s mostly stuff we’ve seen before, although I’ve never seen that part where Eddie is carrying LeAnn and he bangs her head into a wall. That sh-t is hilarious. Soon it will be, “Whoops! I accidentally dropped her down a flight of stairs!” There’s still all of the stuff about them bad-mouthing Brandi Glanville too, and you can tell that they’re both sort of obsessed with her:

There are a few newish moments. As for the Brandi stuff, Life & Style says that Brandi is really, really pissed at what she’s seen so far in these VH1 trailers. Sources say she’s consulting a lawyer about what steps to take now. Oh, this is going to get good.

LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian’s reality show, LeAnn & Eddie, won’t premiere until July 17, but Life & Style has learned that Brandi Glanville has already sought legal counsel regarding the show.

Her grounds? In Brandi’s divorce settlement, Eddie insisted on a clause that prohibits the exes from publicly trash-talking each other.

“Eddie was worried that if Brandi bad-mouthed him, it would hurt his career,” an insider tells Life & Style. “But the clause works both ways and she thinks he and LeAnn have completely violated it.”

“She doesn’t give a crap what they think about her behind closed doors,” says a Brandi insider. “But to attack her on TV, where it can affect her children — it’s disgusting.”

[From Life & Style]

Just to play devil’s advocate (Kris Jenner is always calling!), didn’t Brandi also break that clause with her first book? Granted, the book wasn’t all about bad-mouthing Eddie, and she could make the argument that everything that she describes actually happened, but still. I guess it’s a good idea to consult a lawyer and figure out if there are grounds to sue or whatever. Or she could just let them look like dumbasses all on their own, because the impression I’m getting from the VH1 trailers is that they spend most of their alone time obsessing over Brandi. Here’s where it will get good though: what if LeAnn spends a lot of time with her girlfriends talking sh-t about Brandi? Would it be possible to merely sue LeAnn? That would be interesting.

    LeAnn Rimes used to be a remarkable vocalist. Now she’s just a sugar momma who looks like a pig.

    • Tracy says:

      LeAnn is nothing but tabloid trash now. She tossed it all away for the D lister with dimples. She deserves whatever karma serves up to her. The same goes for him.

      Kaiser, I agree that Brandi should just let them look like dumb asses on their own. The trailer for this mess is way worse than anything I could have ever imagined.

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Agree with you on all points.

      • Diane says:

        True! Something that everyone seems to be missing is that in Brandis book – if it was not truthful – do you think for a second Leann and Eddie would not sure her. Meaning – all true! Brandi on the other hands knows and it also appears to the public and would any Judge – that Leann simply did this show to hurt and slander Brandi. Brandi has a huge Slander suit against miss Leann… She needs to go for it.. She needs to strip that women of everything she dearly loves – just the way Leann did to Brandi.. Karma honey.. Go get her Brandi.

    • heidi says:

      Brandi is the QUEEN of trash talking anyone who won’t bow before her. Her name is ‘hypocrite’

      • April says:

        Just a head’s up – I’m assuming you inadvertently typed “Brandi” instead of “LeAnn” at the beginning of your comment.

      • Diane says:

        Really? Maybe it is from all the crap the goofy blonde has done. Ever thought of that. Leann rimes is not just weird and ugly – she is sick!

  2. the.princess.leia says:

    “She doesn’t give a crap what they think about her behind closed doors,” says a Brandi insider. “But to attack her on TV, where it can affect her children — it’s disgusting.”

    But apparently trashing one’s ex in a book wouldn’t affect her children.

    I used to like this chick but now I think she’s just as bad as E&L.

    ETA: This is the same woman who trashtalked her own son IN PUBLIC! I don’t buy that she’s that worried about her children being affected.

  3. Erinn says:

    She lays her hands on her husband an awful lot for someone so happy.

    If I were Brandi, I’d at least consult with a lawyer as well. Doesn’t mean she will sue, but it’d give her her options.

    • bettyrose says:

      Yeah the excessive touching reminds me of lusty teens in their first romance and no opportunities for privacy. Adults need to cool it on the PDA.

      • Bread and Circuses says:

        Well, I know it seems like a million years in internet time, but they’ve only been married three years, and they did get together out of lust. Gropeyness isn’t necessarily out-of-keeping with that history.

      • elaine says:

        don’t think they got together out of lust. they got together because of Eddie being flat broke and needing a sugar mama no matter that she looks like the grinch. wonder if their new show will have flash backs of the 10 pictures of leann on the web picking her nose yipes never shake hands with her

      • Erinn says:

        Not just the PDA either – she hits him a lot. And that’s just in promos.

      • aaa says:

        @elaine,
        When Eddie and Leann hooked up he was far from flat broke, he was a working actor and probably made more money than 90% of the U.S. population.

    • Jenny12 says:

      I don’t believe that magazine- they will print anything. I would say she should consult a lawyer based on the fact that they use photos and video of the boys on the show. As for the PDA, it’s beyond excessive, but if it’s between just them, fine. The grabbing of Eddie’s crotch in front of the boys, the crushing Jake under her to make out with him, the endless making out at soccer games in front of the boys and other children, the stripping on the balcony where she and Liz made out with the kids inside- that’s insanity. Putting aside how they got together, it is extremely inappropriate how overly sexual they act in front of children. The boys were expected to accept it when their parents were barely separated, and it’s still not appropriate in front of them, and you shouldn’t act like that in front of other kids either. My kids are in sports and I’ve never seen anyone’s parents or stepparents act like that. I would be furious if adults were that sexual in front of my kids. Self control is for adults.

    • Diane says:

      I hope Brandi wipes the floor with Leann has been Rimes

  4. heidi says:

    Such a hypocrite that Glanville chick. Check out both books, the Stern interview, any interview, the podcast, the passive-aggressive maneuvers then tell me dissing Eddie isn’t the main subject. Glanville has a bad case of a law unto herself.
    And why can’t Leann and Eddie address the topic when that’s Brandi’s sole storyline. I say let the accused defend themselves. His truth, her truth, THE Truth

    • dlo says:

      this is for publicity for the upcoming show. get people talking and speculating. so quit getting your panties in a wad

    • Josephina says:

      Brandi made a public platform from being the wife that was cheated on, that said husband remarried with the mistress. LeAnn’s position with Brandi is largely due to her husband’s very low regard for his ex-wife. Unfortunately, Brandi was not smart enough to see this and put that crap in check. Brandi’s revenge? She has made money from the public triangle, but it has come at a cost. Camille Grammer went through hell as well. I am glad that she did not write a book about it. She was smart enough to guard her private life, no matter how hurt she was.

      There is nothing level-headed about Brandi. Outside of having the boys, I have yet to see Brandi make ANY wise or smart decisions. Almost all of her decisions and actions are bred from unbridled emotions. Her mouth is her worst enemy. It is what gets her into trouble and leads into just criticism, time and time again.

      Now Eddie and LeAnn want to show their lives on TV. Fair game. It doesn’t need to be successful– that would be a bonus. It only needs to be aired.

      • betty says:

        What lives? We know what they do. Leann tweets and Eddie does nothing. Brandi is on her 3rd season with RHOBH. When was the last time Eddie had a steady job.His current wife works intermittently when she can get her truck stop tours. if Brandi made a platform from being the wife that was cheated on they made a platform out of flaunting it. Leann with the Spitfire album , what was that all about? .Brandi just happen to be more successful at it the then those clowns. If Brandi was a nonfactor they would not even mention her because they would have to many other factors going for them. There is nothing new they can show the public that we don’t already know.

      • aaa says:

        @betty,
        It’s funny that you question Eddie and Leann being on reality TV because you do not think they have “lives,” and then you bring up Brandi as having a life because she is on a reality TV show. Yeah Brandi is on a reality TV show, but she brings nothing to that show other than trashiness and troublemaking. Whether or not Eddie works, he is still an actor with an agent who gets considered for acting roles. Leann records music and tours. Eddie and Leann are in a relationship with one another, they also have family and friends on the show. If the show is boring it may not last more than a season, but Eddie and Leann have “lives” and much more of a life than what Brandi has “in real life” and what she shows on her reality show.

      • Josephina says:

        @betty-

        Eddie is an actor and LeAnne is a well-known country singer. Both have careers that have lasted mored than a decade. Whether they are at the top of their profession can be debated. Their careers, which require talent and training, are not based on Brandi’s former modeling that she chose to put to the side as Eddie’s wife.

        It would have been grand if Brandi returned to modeling but she didn”t. She made the roster of RHOBH because she was Eddie’s wife. Given all of the Housewives franchise along with Hollywood Exes, Brandi has the absolute worst relationship with her ex, made further more ugly because of the TMI factor she brings to her podcast, books, public snarky comments and her vengeful nature openly displayed to not just her ex-husband (and mistress-wife) but also at every member on the RHOBH show.

        The deceitful ways of ONE man should not turn you into a nasty, catty, tit-for-tat, potty-mouth, vindictive, drunken hell-raiser … unless that was you all along.

        There is nothing “refreshing” about her character. Brandi’s lack of self-control always presents as a volcanic state— ready to erupt at any moment.

      • Kosmos says:

        Agreed about Brandi’s bad manners throughout. From what I know of Brandi, I just don’t care for the woman. I once saw her as the one cheated upon, but her mouthiness and less than classy approach to everything has changed all of that for me. She’s a troublemaker and she has handled everything poorly. If things about the boys got out of control, she is mostly to blame for continuing to doggedly and publicly chastise the other two. The other two should also have not fought back (maybe) due to the children being involved, but push comes to shove and I’m sure they hated being publicly humiliated. Even if she didn’t like Leann, there’s nothing she can do, but she did not come to terms with this early on, but continued to torment them as the cheating couple. Enough is enough. I’m totally sick of seeing Brandi’s face at this point.

  5. Pinky says:

    Brandi had an attorney vet everything she wrote in her books, so clearly there’s worse about Eddie that we’re not allowed to know! The way she framed the STD stuff was that it was about her and it is verifiable (as far as her getting treatment for it, plus this affair was exposed in the tabloids so she wasn’t revealing any new information about that). As far as LeAnn is concerned, Brandi has no such clause in her divorce decree barring her from trashing LeAnn or any of Eddie’s side pieces (or anyone else in life), she just can’t slam Eddie in certain ways. So Brandi can trash talk any ‘hussy’ she wants and get away with it, as long as she believes what she says is true, and provided that it doesn’t injure the other party (if what she says happens to be false).

    So, have at it, everyone. From what we’ve glimpsed so far, Brandi has cause to go after them both–hard. Eddie produced this shiz, so his hands are as dirty as if he’d said those things about Brandi himself (like the stuff LeAnn and her “borrowed” friends discussed about Brandi being an alcoholic). Good luck, LeAnn, Eddie, Duck Dynasty, and VH1. Seems to me, you’re gonna need it!

    • TheOriginalKitten says:

      I think the point is that a grown woman shouldn’t be “trash-talking” any “hussy” (or stepmother to her children) at all, really.
      And same goes for Leanne.

      All three are the most juvenile, self-centered, and emotionally-stunted human beings I’ve ever seen.

      • Pinky says:

        You won’t get any argument from me there. But were talking legalities here. Seeming hypocrisy doesn’t hold much sway when dealing with the letter of the law.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Ok gotcha. I think I extrapolated from your comment without really READING it. But yeah I agree.

      • MrsBPitt says:

        But, if they didn”t trash talk each other, NONE OF THEM would have any “career” or monetary opportunities. This is the only way any of them can make a buck anymore…they are all gross!!!!!

      • Bridget says:

        Considering how litigious Leanne is, and that Eddie did his best to draw out divorce proceedings as much (and as painfully and expensively) as possible, I can see how it would be very tempting to sue.

    • heidi says:

      Brandi’s alcoholism has been mentioned before, Leann wasn’t the first. I saw it on last years RHOBH and their is ample evidence in the papped photos of her falling down drunk. Not to mention her own words.

      • Pinky says:

        Others might have mentioned it, but it is not fact and is, therefore, injurious. As far as we know, she has never sought treatment for alcohol addiction, she has never been diagnosed, etc. Thus, it’s purely speculative, whereas the things she’s said (from what little I know of her and her antics) were factual.

        Beyond all that, they were dumb to say her name or show her picture in this series, especially since it is not a “reality series” but “scripted reality” or whatever dumb term they used. They are using her name and likeness to make money and you just can’t do that. They’re basing entire segments on their discussions about her. The average viewer is not going to know that this is tongue-in-cheek, if that’s what they’re going to claim, because the other segments are presented as factual and not necessarily humorous (like consulting a fertility expert). They’re in hot water, in my opinion. VH1 needs to pull this thing or re-edit it and apologize, STAT….

      • heidi says:

        @Pinky Time will surely tell. The Scorpio in Brandi won’t let this go until she avenges the wrong done her.

      • bluhare says:

        Legally and in reality might be two different things, but that woman’s an alcoholic. If she tries to sue on that one, she’ll lose.

        Signed,
        Takes One To Know One — and I’ve never been treated for it, or diagnosed with it either. Other than by me.

      • aaa says:

        @heidi,
        The interesting thing is that more than once, Brandi has been caught on camera when she was highly intoxicated to the point that she needed help walking. Friends and enemies alike have discussed her excessive drinking, and on top of that she has gotten a DUI. However no one has seen Leann take a laxative or Adderall, Brandi is the one who publicized those things about her. It may be true that Leann takes / took laxatives and Adderall, but at the same time consider the source – Brandi has been busted for telling lies and making gross exaggerations, along with being known for getting down in the gutter against the people she thinks have done her wrong.

      • NinaS says:

        Did you forget about LR being falling down drunk or whatever it was that made her slur, almost fall, burp and forget her own song while she ruined the career of an up and coming 13 year old on national t.v.? I believe LR has her fair share of problems in that department.

      • Fan says:

        Wow, you have no proof she is an alcoholic. Sometimes I think she gets drunk on the show and gets in fights to keep her character interesting. I think Brandi went too far last season and from what I have read she knows it and regrets it. I suspect we will see the old Brandy next season. I love the Brandi prior to last season and want to give her a second chance. She is the least boring on RHOBH. The Richard sisters are a snooze, the two new ones are horrible, and I think Lisa is two faced to everyone.

      • aaa says:

        @NinaS, Leann’s performance was bad on X Factor but I don’t think that all the stuff you mentioned happened. Some people said she was drunk, others said she was being a selfish performer for trying to outsing a teenager. Also Carly Rose Sonenclar got signed to a record label after the show, her career was not been ruined.

      • claire says:

        @NinaS: I will forever be bitter about that. I watched that show all the way through and was rooting for Carly. To see Leann come out and burp and stumble and screech, and THEN go on to blame that fiasco on Carly. OMG. Such an evil B*tch.

      • betty says:

        Leann can’t talk . She got her angelfish nickname from one of Eddie’s friends. She sings like an angel and drinks like a fish. Brandi should threaten to sue since Leann is famous for it

  6. TheOriginalKitten says:

    That trailer…so cringeworthy.
    But God help me, seeing EC, I’m remembering him as a hot fireman from Third Watch and I’m sorry but I’m still attracted to him.
    It’s the dimples!

    *runs and hides*

    • eva says:

      I remember him as Cole Deschanel (sp) from Sunset Beach, and he gave me the skeevies then.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        I remember him from that show too. He was the only reason I watched it.

    • Erinn says:

      I hear you OKitt. We will admire him from afar, and only occasionally, while showing our contempt for him as a person.

      The dimples are what kill me too.

      • TheOriginalKitten says:

        Exactly. From very far away..like on-a-different-planet far away….

    • Sugar1 says:

      you can run & hide but I will find you to say I totally agree

  7. TheOriginalKitten says:

    Totally. All are gross. If they didn’t trash Brandi, nobody would watch their boring-ass show.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      Exactly. They have nothing else.

    • Fan says:

      Totally agree. Without the Brandi piece of the triangle they have nothing!!

    • Michele says:

      Agree they’re both nearly unemployable so wtf else is there to dwell on? This was 4-5 years ago now do you realize that LOL! wow.

  8. Hannah says:

    Ok so is this a reality show like the others now? I thought they were selling it as a fictional show or something?

  9. minime says:

    They are very sick people. How does anyone has the stomach to watch the crap that they are trying to sell? Sure they do belong together.

  10. Francis says:

    After how she referred to her son in four letter derogatory foul words, I have no sympathy or respect for Brandi. No wonder Eddie left her.

    • Lady D says:

      He didn’t leave, he was tossed. He begged to be allowed to come home after he was tossed. He called falcor a speed bump after he was tossed and was still trying to save his marriage. He was in therapy to save his marriage because he was screwing the waitress and got caught, and didn’t want to leave his marriage. He was also doing falcor and it came out in therapy. He was tossed and he hates her for that, and for telling him no.

      • aaa says:

        @Lady D,
        Almost everything you said is a bunch of internet hooey.

      • rlh says:

        @aaa
        No, it is not internet hooey. It is all fact. Brandi outlined the split from Eddie in her first book. And, again, it was thoroughly vetted by her publisher’s team of lawyers to ensure that it was all true so that Leann, who is known for her litigiousness (she sued a teacher she didn’t know after Leann herself called the woman over Twitter bs) could not sue. The facts of the split have never been discussed by L&E because it is embarrassing to both of them: Eddie went with Leann because he couldn’t get Brandi back and Leann was so desperate to have him she took him even after he called her names and cheated on her (Leann) with a waitress and Brandi.
        I was also the instigator of my divorce: after years of cheating and lies I finally kicked my husband out. He too said awful things about the mistress, which I told her. My ex did his best to stay with me while trying to groom me to accept that he was going to cheat. When I would not go along with it and got a lawyer he completely cut me off (like Eddie did to Brandi) and does not talk to me to this day, seven years later. While I would have no problem talking to him and have said hello when I see him, he turns his head like I don’t exist. Controlling cheats are usually very, very angry when you stop allowing them to control you. That is why, for me, Brandi’s version of events rings true: it was my story too. And men like that all sing the same tune.

      • Josephina says:

        @rlh and LadyD-

        Brandi laid down with an attractive cheat, married him and had children with him. The joke is on her because she will always have the idiot in her life and communication has been extremely embarrassing, difficult and hurtful. If she did not have his kids she would not be going through this mess. If you roll around with pigs in mud, you will get dirty.

        Brandi and Eddie’s problems belong to Brandi and Eddie only . Mudslinging is always a cheater’s game, lol. Brandi has allowed herself to get caught up in a bunch of nonsense. Who Eddie is with and how he got with her should be of no concern to her given the way Eddie has repeatedly disrespected Brandi and consistently proven himself as untrustworthy. Brandi’s thirst for revenge and her mouth are what has justifiably put her in this continual merry-go-round of airing out distasteful and ugly events in her life.

        No way in hell would I be interested in ANY movement/progress of an ex whatsoever, ESPECIALLY if he did not treat me with respect or behaved in the manner which Eddie has . LeAnn is simply a byproduct of the real problem that is Eddie. I would disengage all forms of contact and his point of view would be irrelevant on all levels. And yes, that would include any new bish/wife that he is currently banging.

      • aaa says:

        @rlh,
        Most of the comment that I responded to had to do with Brandi and Eddie and things that happened between them, Leann cannot sue Brandi for discussing / misrepresenting / lying about things that happened between Brandi and Eddie.

        The speedbump comment was made by a spokesperson of Eddie’s. What he actually said was something like Eddie and Brandi’s marriage was going through a difficult time which he referred to as a speed bump.

        As the person I originally responded to said, Eddie was still “doing” Leann while he was in therapy to save his marriage, that makes me wonder how committed Eddie was to, if not the marriage, then Brandi herself.

        Brandi and Eddie separated and a short time later, Eddie filed for divorce. If Eddie wanted to stay married to Brandi he would not have filed for divorce and then, in front of the paparazzi, go on dates with and make out with “the other woman.”

        Did Brandi really outline her split in her book? My understanding from people who read it, almost everyone thought that it was an enjoyable read, but some criticized her for rambling and also noted that some of her claims did not add up like were they really as poor as Brandi claimed.

        What facts of the split were there for Eddie to explain, his actions spoke for themselves: he was caught having an affair, he denied it but then was caught with the other woman again and again, he and his wife separated, he was then seen on dates with “the other woman,” he filed for divorce and continued seeing “the other woman” including having his children with him. Nothing that Eddie and Leann did in the past few years shows that they were the least bit embarrassed, if fact, it looks like to me that they acted very shamelessly.

        How much in common do you and Brandi really have? Were you still drinking heavily years after your break up, did you or your friends blame your drinking and acting out on the break up? Years after the fact, were you saying that you may never marry again because you have trust issues? Did every man you dated after the break up cheat on you? Maybe all that applies to you, but if it does not, then maybe you and Brandi don’t have as much in common as you think.

      • vilebody says:

        @rhl. Wow–I’m so sorry you had to go through all that and I hope that your life is much improved after cutting free from your ex. His behavior post-divorce only reinforces what a cold-hearted person he must be. Hugs from afar!

        @aaa and @Josephina–Wow–again. I get that you are intense LeAnn fans, but maybe next time you could acknowledge or even *gasp* show a little compassion the next time a commenter tells a pretty large and horrific life story.

      • aaa says:

        @vilebody,
        It is getting old and ridiculous to refer to critics of Brandi Glanville as Leann fans. Unrelated to Eddie and Leann, Brandi has proven herself to be a trashy drunk with no boundaries.

        And big eyeroll at chastising a couple of people for not offering (((hugs))) to someone who wrote a paragraph about her divorce. Divorce is definitely a painful life experience for most, but based on what was written, I think you are being overly dramatic to label that person’s story as horrific. More than half of marriages end in divorce, which again is painful most who experience it, but hardly horrific.

    • Miffy says:

      What?!?! But she’s just trying to think of her children! Won’t someone please think of the children!! Those darling, sweet, innocent little assholes/f*ckers (according to Brandi herself).

      • Josephina says:

        I see that you are onto the hypocrisy that Brandi spits out.

      • aaa says:

        @Miffy,
        LOL!!!

      • Diane says:

        You hit the nail on the head. They are her children. Leann may have bought and paid for Eddie – but the kids are another story. Think about this. If Eddie really truly loved Leann – don’t you think he would stop her from making a fool out of herself.. He doesn’t – You know why – because he knows, he is planning, he is plotting his out. She is hanging herself. He can show he turns down jobs because Leann cant ever perform a concert without him being right in front of her. ALIMONY!!!!!!! BTW, it was Leann was it not that was put in rehab.. Keep talking. We all know that it is Leann that posts this stuff. She thinks we are all stupid.. Just like she thinks she is pretty. She needs serious mental assistance. But you see – Eddie could care less if she gets it or not. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    • Josephina says:

      @vilebody–

      I do not know much about LeAnne as I am not much of a fan of country music. She had an affair while married to a married man named Eddie Cibrian.

      Believe it or not, there is life, a great life, that can be had after divorce IF you leave the past behind along with any past feelings. Brandi has not and cannot disengage from anything Eddie and mistress-wife LeAnne. Brandi’s character flaw is her thirst for revenge- it is what keeps rearing its ugly head repeatedly.

      • betty says:

        There is life after divorce and Brandi is living it. She has accomplished much since their divorce. Writing two books. TV appearances and a regular on a TV show. What has those two clowns accomplished.? They are jealous with all their so called talent that Brandi has succeeded where they haven’t they are nothing but has beens now trying to be. That reality show is their last hope. Since Eddie has not been receiving any acting jobs to speak of and Leann plays the truck stop circuits.and Indian casinos with little success With all the” happiness and bliss” they claim you would think their careers would have soared. But it is like they are losers.

    TEAM BRANDI

  13. K says:

    Obviously nobody with kids should be trash-talking the other parent, full stop… but how can she sue LeeAnn? The divorce settlement was between her and her ex, surely? You can’t hold someone to a contract they were never a party to, can you?

    • Erinn says:

      I guess maybe libel or defamation, or something? I’m not familiar with US law though. So if Brandi can say “Hey, what you’re saying is fabricated and damaging to my career” I guess she could have a case?

    It’s “their” kids not “her” kids.

  15. someone says:

    How is repeatedly calling Leann a “cunt-ry” music singer not bad mouthing her? Brandi: pot kettle.

    • NinaS says:

      I suppose that’s just as slanderous as telling all your friends that the ex has had vaginal rejuvenation and laughing about her “beef curtains” on Twitter like a bunch of 12 year olds.

      • claire says:

        Talk about when she could have sued. Leann gave private medical information about Brandi, it seems, to a fan and the fan spread it all over Twitter. I guess she wanted to just not deal with it and reveal it herself in her book, but still!

      • aaa says:

        If anyone can be sued in that situation, it is the person that actually put the information about Brandi’s vaginal rejuvenation on Twitter.

      • claire says:

        @aaa: That’s who I mean. The fan(s).

    • Shannon says:

      Neither can sue for either of those things. Brand’s agreement is to not bad mouth Eddie. LeAnn is not included in that. LeAnn did not break HIPAA laws and provided she didn’t steal Brandi’s medical records, is not guilty of criminal behavior or libel in this particular situation.

      Brandi CAN however sue the LeAnn & Eddie show (and by extension LeAnn and Eddie themselves for producing/bankrolling it) for profiting from her likeness and the pictures without her consent, because Brandi’s built a career based on her own image. Since she makes money by playing herself on TV, she actually has a good legal case here. The LeAnn & Eddie show could damage her brand and she has proof that her brand generates substantial income. I’m surprised one of LeAnn’s beloved lawyers didn’t point this out.

  16. shelley says:

    Bitch, please. Brandi is constantly talking trash about them, too. She spends way too much time thinking about them, and it only eggs them on.

    • Erinn says:

      I think Brandi breathing eggs them on, at this point.

      • Lady D says:

        Yup. They want her out of the picture so bad, they trashed their careers for it. Brandi’s career hasn’t suferred, neither has Dean’s.

      • Jenny12 says:

        I think so, too. All they wanted was for her to get out of the way, and it kills them that she wouldn’t step aside for her kids. Leann has tried to take over every aspect of her life. I would be going crazy trying to keep that lunatic away from my kids. Leann needs a hobby.

    • betty says:

      What has she said? That show must be lacking to mention Brandi name. They know Brandi name is a draw because theirs isn’t.

  17. Tammy says:

    I watched the trailer and I am ready for all the negative comments to be hurled my way but it is not that bad…..is it great? No, it’s about as entertaining as the RHOBH lol. Will I watch it? No….it might interfere with Undateable…and that show is too hilarious to pass up.

  18. littlestar says:

    What really struck me about that video is how different Leann looks in each scene. In a few of them her face was crazy bloated, next “scene” she is thin looking again.

    • Erinn says:

      Probably because they re-shot soooo much.
      It is pretty astounding to see the differences.

    • Christin says:

      The show was announced last August. There is speculation that filming lasted approximately eight or nine months (obviously off and on). Undoubtedly there will be differences in how they look because of that time span.

  19. Jessiebes says:

    This story is so obviously planted by Leann to gain interest for her show.

    • Michele says:

      This is the new PR team they’ve hired. 🙂 obvs if we see through it, it’s not working haha

  20. claire says:

    Having a lawyer on hand seems like a smart idea. You never know what to expect but based on the trailer, I’d get one. Brandi gives her opinion on them (not the whole storyline on RHBH at all), so she can’t expect that they wouldn’t give one on her. They do it in articles and twitter just like she does – the $hit talking has not even remotely been one-sided as their show is trying to portray (it even puts it that way in the description for the show on VH1 site). But there are lines that could be crossed, such as if they are depicting things as reality on the show that aren’t true, using an actress for her likeness, or fabricating events as real that didn’t happen.

  21. Sway says:

    I have to admit, sometimes Eddie and Brandi’s story make me sad. They truly loved each other and you can see that in their old photos, their gorgeous children (obviously made with a lot of love) and … sadly, in how passionately they hate each other now. Hate is the other side of love and I think Eddie still loves her on some level and is mad at her for leaving him in crazy WeWe’s paws; that’s why he always tries to hurt her.

    But I still remember an interview of Eddie from 2008, just one year before stalker WeWe appeared. He said his ultimate turn-on was… surprise, surprise… Brandi. I bet it still is.

    Here, I found it. http://archive.people.com/people/archive/jpgs/20081117/20081117-750-80.jpg

    • Maddie says:

      Indifference is the opposite of love not hate.

      • Sway says:

        I didn’t say “the opposite”, I said it’s the “other side” – the other face of love. It’s still love, only transformed a little.

    • happymama says:

      Sounds about right. He is still too interested in her for someone who isn’t interested.

    • Shannon says:

      True. I also think Brandi hasn’t been able to move on because of LeAnn’ obsession with dwelling on the affair and trying to turn herself into Brandi. So Brandi takes out her anger on the situation by continuing to mess with Eddie a bit because she knows it will drive both Eddie and LeAnn crazy (albeit in very different ways). She knows very well how to push their buttons by now, and they do the same thing to her. It’s a totally codependent rivalry and they know they would all fade into obscurity without each other. Which would be fine, except that there are children involved who will grow up with a highly dysfunctional relationship modeled for them. I’m sure when the boys grow up they will have a lot to say about how having so much out in the public from both parents and LeAnn affected them. I doubt much of it will be good things. It is truly disgusting how none of the adults involved recognizes this. The grandparents seem more stable but then again, they produced and raised their parents so maybe the boys aren’t all that safe with grandma and grandpa.

      • Jenny12 says:

        As much as I don’t want to agree with aaa, she is correct. Eddie was having affairs all over the place. He seemed to have this mindset of Brandi being the permanent, but he had a whole bunch of temporaries because he felt he had the right to. I think he did love Brandi, but he seems to see her divorcing him as a betrayal and doesn’t accept responsibility for his part in it. Now he just wants to destroy her for revenge- I don’t think that’s love. That’s a sick obsession, and his nutty current wife feeds into it. And they use those little boys as pawns, which is the sickest thing of all. But as the boys get older, they won’t be able to- haven’t as much as they used to- and I think karma is going to be a real bitch. Seeing photos of Jake trying to get Leann to stop bouncing a ball off his head or struggling to get out of her arms and Mason’s refusal to play prop tells me that they’re already asserting themselves. My impression is that Eddie is a sociopath and Leann is mentally ill and his pawn. And I think Brandi stays as strong as possible, but the situation is wearing on her. If we get bored and sick of it, imagine having your kids in that situation half the time.

    • aaa says:

      LOL, Eddie was having an affair with that waitress chick when he did that interview.

      • claire says:

        Which is why you can’t trust when he talks about love with Leann either. Or claim they look in love in photos.

      • aaa says:

        @claire,
        Totally agree. However I’m also not assuming that Eddie is screwing around on Leann either, he could be but I’ll believe it when he gets busted by a tabloid or the mistress comes forward with pictures.

      • betty says:

        So what he was seeing the waitress when he was with Leann. That makes him a player. Leann had to wait in line. Shows he ahs no respect for any woman just likes to use them for his pleasure.

      • Jenny12 says:

        @betty, exactly. Yes, he was unfaithful to Brandi, but it wasn’t that Leann was his big love story. She was one of his conquests and not even the only one at the time. There are a lot of rumors going around about who he is seeing, including an bit part actress on some minor network show, but no concrete proof. Yet.

  22. Lisa says:

    Don’t you think Eddie would LOVE to have Brandi back, at least for a while? Any guy who is that obsessed over a beautiful woman, WANTS her IMO.

    • Snowflake says:

      I don’t think she’s beautiful

    • Shannon says:

      Was. She was beautiful before she turned into a cross between The Joker and a Cheshire cat with all the fillers and botox. Check out some of her older pictures.

      And yes Eddie begged her to take him back multiple times, even after she kicked him out and LeAnn took him in. Which is one reason for LeAnn’s over the top issues with insecurity (another being all the hot babes he cheats on her with). At least with Brandi he kind of had an open marriage, not that she agreed to it. It became an open marriage when she didn’t leave after discovering his inability to be monogamous the first few times. She made herself act like she was ok with it as long as he was discreet because she loved him and had put aside her career to raise the kids. She had no resources to just up and leave. LeAnn on the other hand, probably has security following Eddie around whenever she can’t personally keep an eye on him. Or else she flips out and has a mental breakdown or a dramatic “medical emergency” like a sprained ankle or a hangnail and checks into a hospital and Eddie has to go be by her side like a good kept man. I am sure the difference grates on him and he longs for his life with the long-suffering Brandi, who was miserable but put up with his crap. Brandi finally saw the light because of LeAnn.

      • fancyzebra says:

        If Eddie longs so much to be back with STD-infested Brandi, then why isn’t he?

    • Jenny12 says:

      She was beautiful until she messed with her face. I wish love motivated him, but I don’t think so. I think it’s sexual hate. And desire for revenge, because he doesn’t get that he did anything wrong. I think his obsession, sadly, is to destroy her and get even for whatever he thinks she did. And I think it gives him control over Leann. Sick, sick, sick.

  23. Jenn K says:

    They are obsessed with Brandi. Like leave
    Her alone already and move on with your life
    LR! If Eddies such a “catch” why are you so
    concerned with BG. I swear with out BG to
    talk about they have nothing…..

  24. Shannon says:

    Hahahaha Eddie claiming he works was priceless. And no Eddie, it’s not just your ex wife who thinks you’re a freeloader.

    LeAnn looks a lot more like her old self when she talks and opens her mouth. Its’ something about her jaw. I don’t see video of her a lot, but it’s clear the Brandi transformation is not as complete as it looks in still images. For all the dental work LeAnn has had, I’m a little shocked at how her teeth look. They’re not awful or anything like that, I just mean it’s interesting she didn’t go the chiclet veneer route. I would have expected it given her other changes. I mean heck, she got her boobs done and was very public about that.

    • ya says:

      She used to have the chiclet veneers for a long time – she had them in pre-Eddie, and they totally transformed her face from what she looked like as a teenager. She’s since had them removed/replaced with smaller ones.

  25. sonalaceae (Nighty) says:

    These three, and their whinning and trashing eachother, just disgust me…

  26. kitty-bye says:

    Looks related to Joan Rivers (photo above hers) 😀

  27. michiem says:

    well if there’s anything to learn about reality show couples, its that they don’t last and they split up. I think Sharon and Ozzy are the only ones that have “survived”. So Leann definitely dug her own grave.

  28. GIRLFACE says:

    This is getting really played out. Maybe if the show had come out a year ago there would be more interest in it but I think Brandi may be trying to sort of help the show run its press buzz course. If all she does is slow down the release of the show, she wins. But these three used to be an interesting train wreck to watch and now they are just exhausting.

    • Francis says:

      Who hasn’t Brandi fought with around her on those shows. Who hasn’t she talked about including badmouthing her own son. She has almost had fights with everyone. Brandi seems to love constant drama.

    • Christin says:

      It is exhausting (and boring, IMO). If she did consult a lawyer, then that’s understandable (just as I’m sure the other two sought legal advice when the books came out).

      There was the album and now this show to tell whatever the ‘truth’ is. If they come across as likeable and interesting, then the show may last past a few episodes.

      If not, and the show is a huge flop, then all it will do is be more egg on the face for the two ‘stars’. The publicity from it may simply air the dirty laundry they’ve all built up over the last few years to more people who didn’t realize how ridiculous it’s been.

    • Michele says:

      Brandi probably hasn’t done a thing, it’s probably a planted story by Falkor.

  29. Michele says:

    These two squinty eyed farces can allegedly pay PR magicians all the money they want to repackage them and resell them positively in the media & public before this horrible show premiers but LeAnn will ruin it immediately the next time she has a twitter rant or another drunken confession on stage like “I can’t find my husband! I have to check my phone in the middle of a concert.” She can’t help herself, she’s destructive. One half tier above Lohan IMO.

  30. Natasha says:

    Really Brandi! Your whole storyline on RHOB is about LeeAnn and Eddy without then no one would be interested in you.

    • betty says:

      Leann and Eddie are irrelevant , Brandi didn’t need them for her story line. She had the other houswives to use as one. Leann and Eddie has no one but Brandi for theirs. If anything no one is interested in Leann and Eddie dull” bliss and happiness” fake life.

      • Michele says:

        Agree, I never once heard Brandi mention either nit wit on the RHBH. Nice try Natasha … you obviously don’t watch the show.

  31. MY TWO CENTS says:

    It just slays me when people say Brandi’s storyline is all about EC and LR. She has not mentioned their names on that show in a long time. When they have been brought up on her timeline in last 6 months, she tweets please stop the tweets about LR and EC. It is people that have not followed her closely that say she still obsesses because she doesn’t. I don’t think Brandi will do anything legally about the show…that is a planted story in an unreliable mag…I do believe she will talk about her feelings on it some when the new season of RHOBH airs. It also kills me that so many people bad mouth her and judge her as a human being and a Mother. She was the villain on the last season of a partially scripted storyline for RHOBH. Anybody who watches these shows as often as I do realizes there is a different loud mouth, trouble causing housewife each season…on every one of them. The people in an uproar are either Lisa Vanderpump fans or LR fans. Eddie is still a cheating douchebag whenever he can get away with it because he is a typical good looking guy who feeds his ego from attracting many women. Won’t ever matter who he is with he won’t be faithful.
